AM: (10.5+ miles, 1:28:20). Steady state run on the grass at Liberty Park. I was supposed to do 8 miles, but since my mileage was so low while I was in Taiwan I decided to hang back a week and make sure I did not lose too much fitness ... so I did 6 miles @ SS pace 21:22 wu + (4 x 1.5 mile loops on the grass): 11:40 ( 7:46 pace), 11:41 (7:46 pace), 11:35 (7:43 pace), 11:30 (7:40) + 20:29 cd. I was encouraged - despite the fact that my foot felt like it was burning the whole time! I was wearing an arch support band, and I hope that it was just too tight (and not something worse). Overall, the pain is not worse, but not better either. PM: (3 miles, 27:41). I ran out of daylight. Ran as far as I could on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail -- since I can barely keep from tripping in full daylight, I decided to cut the run short to avoid a full header downhill in the dark! I ran a little bit on the roads to make it a full 3 miles, but my heart (and foot) just wasn't into running another 1/2 mile uphill in the dark.
